Marcia Marchant
Biography:
I have had the gift of witnessing the miracle of birth as a Labor Doula, death and rebirth as and End of Life Doula. My father was one of my greatest teachers in life. However, it was through his process of transitioning I felt he slowed every step, every breath, maybe to hold on longer, but I get a sense he was teaching me one of his greatest gifts. My gift of service to others. Prior to his passing, I became a volunteer of Hospice, thinking one day I may need this knowledge should one of my parents pass. Funny how the universe knows what to put in front of us. Time changes all things in life. I find myself in a beautiful space that allows me to do what I love best: to be of service to others during the miracles and mysteries in the cycle of life.
Session Talk: Mysteries of life and death.
Who speaks of it? Who OPENLY speaks of death and our end of life wishes? Always we "hush" the child or the
person speaking of such things. I know I was hushed. End of life will
come to us all, hopefully when we are at our oldest of age.
Unfortunately, that isn't always the case. As a Hospice volunteer, as
a Medical Receptionist, as a Mother, sister, sibling etc. Do we
really know what the other wants? Sadly, we often hest.. Oh Mom
wouldn't like that.. or she said I could have that... and families are
torn.
Death always seems and is portrayed as dark and scary. What is on
the other side of the veil? Do we really know? Is there another
side? Do we really die? Where do we go?
Openly I encourage those hard questions. What are your wishes? How do
you want to die? Where do you want to live out our last days? Home?
Hospital? Hospice?
Do you have a plan? What does it look like ? Do you want to
incorporate your family cultural traditions? Do you want a theme?
Burial or cremation? Buried in a vault in the wall or ground burial,
what type of casket or urn? A celebration of life.
Are we sad to lose a loved one, Indeed we are. Grief from that
moment forward is endless. It took a lifetime to know them, to love
them. it often takes a lifetime that we grieve them in our many
stages. Their lives and our lives are changed forever.
Where do we go from there?
